Your in the NWN2 forum and you are playing NWN1. Could tell by the Daelen redtiger comment.

For sorceror I would use a lot of buffing spells. I have forgotten the spells in NWN1 but some defensive spells like Mage Armor, Cat's Grace, and Stoneskin. Buff with Bull's Strength (and buff Daelen Redtiger too). If heroism or greater heroism are in NWN1 then use that. Get Mordenkainen's sword (eventually). With the buff's you should be ok at killing things melee. Not great but it means you can save your spells and don't have to rest constantly. You can still get a lot of sorceror spells as sorceror 19 so I would consider taking Fighter 1 in order to get martial weapons but that might be bad because it slow down your casting. For big battles you can throw around your fireballs, ice storms, and Issaac's missile storms.

Spellcasting mechanics

NWN is based off a turn based system, which allows for one spell per turn for each character. This is then compared to weapon fighters who can reach up to four attacks in that same round.

The only way to increase your spells per turn is to take the Quicken Spell metamagic feat. This would allow you to Quicken a spell by casting it using a spellslot 3-levels higher than a spell (so you will use a level 5 spell slot to cast a level 2 spell), but then the casting of this spell takes no time at all.

You can cast one Quicken spell per turn, so effectively doubling the number of spells you can cast to two per turn, up from one.

If you are planning to bring the character to Epic levels, Automatic Quicken Spell is a worthwhile feat to take, as it will automatically Quicken the first spell you cast in that round, if eligible, at no extra cost.
